VU, Bob Dylan, & the Devil's Trill Sonata

i love bob dylan & the velvet underground at the minute sooo much !!!!!!!1
I have liked these for a while, but my love has been reawakened.
I love live albums in particular. like this VU one:
Also I am in love with this lou reed recording of a poem called 'Lipstick'
Watched these Dylan videos:


The only problem with when I get obsessed or listen to writers, I feel so jealous and that everything I ever write is rubbish because they just blow me away ! maybe im just impressed to easily.

Also found this vid:
I knew about the whole crossroads devil faust thing but just wanted to see if there was anything else that it added on or explained more.
then went to this as it was mentioned in about video. i found it amazing, listened to the whole thing. I have been into classical music more recently and I think I've just discovered what type of classical music I like as I feel I am drawn to solo piano pieces or guitar. I didn't think I was that interested in violin but I really liked this so??? maybe its just more orchestra/many instrument things that I don't like? Who knows !
On his deathbed, while crying and sobbing, Tartini claimed that the devil's trill was nothing compared to the one played by satan that night
